Broad Street Wrington
PARISH COUNCIL
 


 Entry in the current issue of the Village Journal

North Somerset has engaged consultants to carry out a detailed survey of flooding in Wrington and also a wider survey of the situation throughout North Somerset. These consultants will be seen in the village. As a preparation, we have been asked to indicate the areas, using yellow markers, where the water flooded the roads. We have also prepared a Flooding Survey Form.

We shall be visiting as many people who were affected as possible but this is slow work and it would be helpful if those affected could call at the Parish Council Office, collect one of these forms, complete it and return it to the Clerk. We shall also be preparing a 'flyer' give details of what is happening, which will be delivered to every household in the village. I must point out that even when this survey is completed, changes can only happen if North Somerset is prepared to fund the cost!

Spearheaded by Jeremy Birkett, with help from Scott Arrowsmith and Jim Swords, the drive to tidy up the village in preparation for 'The Village of the Year' competition is gathering momentum. Tubs and planters of flowers are appearing everywhere and teams of helpers have been clearing weeds from the edges of our main streets. The response to involving the whole village has been most exciting.

By the time you are reading this, new boundary signs around Wrington should have been installed at all the entry points to the village. These have been provided (free) by North Somerset Council, and should be another step in the direction of improving the appearance of the area. Several new litter bins have also been provided in various spots - the new black type with a lid, which looks so much better than the old open ones.

During June annual safety inspections of our two play areas were carried out, and the Parish Council will now be tackling any matters in need of attention. If anyone has any concerns about damaged or broken play equipment, please let me know so that I can arrange repairs.

The Parish Council will be meeting during July on the following dates:

Planning Committee - Tuesday 15 July 6.30 pm
(plans can be viewed by the public from 6.15 pm)

Parish Council - Wednesday 16 July 7.30 pm

All meetings take place in the John Locke Room, Silver Street, Wrington. The Parish Council Office is also open Wednesdays and Fridays, 10.00 am - 12 noon.
